I have an old Packard Bell Multimedia PC. I got 64mb of ram to put in it, and the computer would only read 16 mb of it. I updated the BIOS, and now the memory wont read. Help.

A few older computers that I have-Pentium I, the old intel chips would only read up to a 32mb memory stick, the only socket 7 intel chip that would read above a 32mb memory stick was a 430HX

The sticker that was on a system said that it could be upgraded to 128mb.

True, but most older socket 7 boards have 4 simms ram slots-4X32=128, if you try 64mb sticks it will show up as 16 or 32mbs, like I say, I think the only Intel chipset that will read a stick bigger than 32 on a socket 7 was the 430HX
